How does substance misuse education relate to PSE?
There are opportunities within the Health and emotional well-being theme of the PSE framework to teach young people about all aspects of substance misuse. Central to the process is equipping them with the skills and knowledge to make informed choices, so that they resist unwanted peer pressure and behaviour and take increasing responsibility for keeping the mind and body safe and healthy. In addition to understanding positive health choices, they should be made aware of the potential risks of the use and misuse of legal and illegal substances. Specifically, schools are encouraged to address binge drinking as part of their approach to substance misuse education.
